Missouri has compiled a 5-2 SU record on the road against
non-conference opponents since 2003, as it prepares to leave Columbia for the
first time this season after picking up a pair of victories over Toledo and
Murray State.

The Tigers have won seven of their nine games against Big Ten
Conference opponents during the Gary Pinkel era, but that success includes a
6-0 mark versus the Illinois Fighting Illini.

Explosive

Indiana has alternated wins and losses in its first three games,
as it comes off a 42-10 blowout victory over the Bowling Green Falcons as
2.5-point home favorites last Saturday.

The Hoosiers lead the Big Ten in total touchdowns, with
quarterback Nate Sudfeld leading the way with 10 scoring strikes through the
air.

Over the last two-plus seasons, the program is 5-10 SU and 9-6 ATS
at home, with the OVER going 11-3-1 in that situation.

Life on the road

College football handicappers need to realize that the Tigers have
dropped their last 10 true road games against Big Ten foes, as they aim for a
3-0 record for the seventh time in Pinkel’s 13-season tenure on campus.

Missouri is 3-7 SU and 6-4 ATS on the road over the last two-plus
seasons, with the OVER cashing in six of those opportunities.

Plenty of options

Sudfeld has plenty of options in the passing game, as Indiana has
five players that have the opportunity to reach 100 receptions and 1,000 yards
in 2013. Only 18 Hoosiers have ever obtained those milestones in their
careers.

Dating back to last season, the team has thrown for 300-or-more
yards in five consecutive games.

I’m going to recommend that readers look to the total with their college football picks, as the OVER is
17-4 in the Hoosiers’ last 21 games after allowing less than 20 points in their
previous contest.

Last week’s result of holding Bowling Green to just 10 points has
given this number some value in the market.
